Check out this first time watching horror reaction video for Vertigo and see if I can make it as a horror movie rookie. Horror is a genre I've barely explored, mostly because I'm a huge wuss. Typically my Halloween movie viewings consist of Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown. This year I decided to expand my horror movie knowledge and try and watch these horror movie fan favourites.

The Midge character is fantastic.
She is the plain girl in contrast to the fantasy beauty .
She is reality , and not the fairytale playing in Scotty's head
Agreed! Scottie is too focused on chasing the fantasy to see what’s in front of him.
'Vertigo' is easily in my top 10 movies of all time. Hitchcock is the master of suspense. He uses unique angles and shots, mixes murder and everyday common events together. This movie was filmed in color and restored to it's full beauty, as if it was shot yesterday, the music sets the mood throughout. I believe it's a story of obsession, and it's also a beautiful tour of San Francisco. Kim Novak is always beautiful in her movies.
Back then most movies weren't in color. This was but 2 years later Hitchcock of psycho In black & white
Did she ever look more classically beautiful than in this movie?
I agree with you Jim. This film is one of the 10 best movies for me. It has a unique aura of fascination only found in a very few films. Vertigo was the film made me love Cinema.
What’s your top ten?
@@randywhite3947
Hello Randy. This is my ten list of favourites films ever:
The Big Sleep 1946 Hawks
The River 1951 Renoir
Monsieur Hulot's Holidays 1953 Tati
Ordet 1955 Dreyer
Vertigo 1958 Hitchcock
Some Like It Hot 1959 Wilder
The Miracle Worker 1962 Penn
Dersu Uzala 1975 Kurosawa
To Be And To Have 2002 Philibert
Zodiac 2007 Fincher
A tip. Never go in with assumptions about characters motivations in Hitchcock movies. Also, don't make character assumptions during Hitchcock movies. He is the King of the unexpected twists.
Yeah clearly he is a master of suspense! Thanks for watching!
Absolute Masterpiece!
Brian De Palma made a tribute to Vertigo, with the film "Obsession" (1976), which also Bernard Herrmann wrote the score for. And Mel Brooks made a satirical tribute to Vertigo (and Alfred Hitchcock's films in general) with his film "High Anxiety".
Thanks, there’s Twelve Monkeys too which shows the trees scene in a movie.
You also forgot Basic Instinct. Paul Verhoeven used some of Vertigo's visual style to tell the story, even having Sharon Stone sport a similar outfit to one of the ones from the film.
@@Tchiko. The plot of "Twelve Monkeys" has similarities
Nobody in this movie ever believed Madeline was actually possessed except, hypothetically, Madeline. What her "husband" suggested and Scotty believed was that Madeline believed it as some kind of a delusion. By the way, "North by Northwest," a film Hitchcock made the following year, is really good.
I’ll add it to the list! Thanks for the suggestion!
Talking about age differences: My mother's first husband was also quite a lot older than her.
They fell for each other and started a relationship when she was 16 of age him already being 48 years old.
They were happily married until his early death. And no, my mother wasn't a legacy hunter 😁 (He wasn't that rich). She was just fascinated with his personality, his look and his talents in painting, music and other things.
San Francisco was such a beautiful city back then!
It sure was! Thanks for watching!
It blows my mind that Holywood produced in a short period of time movies like "Vertigo", "Touch of Evil", "The Searchers" or "Paths of Glory".
What I love about the movie is "Madeline" being obsessed with someone dead and that messes up their relationship, followed by Scotty being obsessed with someone dead and messing up their relationship - role reversal!
Interesting facts: the film was almost lost because the prints were not well maintained. The restoration was quite a big job!
The trombone shot/dolly zoom originated from this movie. There is also heavy use of extreme close ups of objects (jewellery, flowers, hair), as he often uses in other movies.
Many recurring Hitchcock themes appear in the movie including someone vanishing without a trace, conspiracy of silence, and a perfect murder (that turns out to be flawed).
IMHO this film should not be remade, ever (except perhaps by David Lynch as his films cover many of the same themes such as identity switches).
The same year this came out Stewart and Novak starred in "Bell Book and Candle" together, she plays a witch and he's the guy she's interested in. Jimmy Stewart stars in one of my all-time favorite comedies "Harvey".
Now that you've seen "The Birds", "Psycho" and "Vertigo" you're ready to watch Mel Brooks' Hitchcock spoof "High Anxiety".
Vertigo is an absolute masterpiece
Such a good movie! Thanks for watching!
Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb lost the password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Yosef Hezekiah Instablaster =)
Overrated I think.
@@flaggerify why?
Fun Fact: The actress who plays Midge is Barbara Bel Geddes, who would later be famous as Ellie Ewing on the TV show Dallas.
I’ve heard of that show but never seen it 😬
@@ReelReviewsWithJen It's okay. lol 😆 It was pretty popular in the 80s.
@@ReelReviewsWithJen Watch Dallas,great drama, great opening theme song. All 80’s tv shows had great theme songs.
Jimmy Stewart was Tom Hanks for your grandmother's generation; the American Everyman.
This role is somewhat of a departure for Jimmy in that he was sexually obsessive and the content was lurid. Normally, Stewart is decent and clean cut.
The greatest collaboration between the two has got to be "Rear Window". That's one of my all-time favorites!
Other great Hitchcocks are "39 Steps", "Marnie", "Strangers on a Train", "North by Northwest", "Lifeboat", "Notorious", "Saboteur", "The Man Who Knew Too Much", "Rebecca".
What about the lady vanishes and sabotage?
Fun Fact: Hitchcock originally offered Kim Novak's role to actress Vera Miles, who would later appear in Psycho as Marion Crane's sister. Miles turned down the role in Vertigo as she was newly married and pregnant at the time.
Oh interesting, I enjoyed Kim Novak’s performance and felt bad for her character. Scottie was just obsessed with Madeline who he never actually met!
@@ReelReviewsWithJen Yep, Scottie was a typical Hitchcock “doomed-man" archetype. Madeline's husband knew that Scottie had vertigo, which made him the perfect witness to a murder/faux-suicide, because Scottie couldn't make it to the top of the bell tower... at least, not until the end of the movie. 😉
@@ReelReviewsWithJen Hi Jen i want to make a suggestion um since you reacted to nightmare on elm street 1 and 2, i recommand part 3 dream warriors and part 4 the dream master. Very worth reacting to
Actually Miles was ready for the role after she gave birth but Hitchcock still went for Novak
@@randywhite3947 By then it was too late.
Great classic. You should also see Rear Window or The Man Who Know Too Much. Other great Jimmy Stewart movies which are not Horror is Its A Wonderful Life and Mr Smith Goes to Washington
I just watched Rear Window and really enjoyed it! Stay tuned for that reaction video!
Mel Brooks parodied this film with "High Anxiety."
He parodied lots of Hitchcock films in "High Anxiety."
"Vertigo" is a classic, but it's not a horror film. Suspense yes, horror no. Jimmy Stewart is a great actor. At it's core I think it's about obsession and how dangerous it can be. It's a complex film. Took me repeated viewings to fully appreciate it.
"Did they throw a mannequin out the window?" OMG, that had me in stitches, Jen. Here, have a like!
Haha thanks for watching!
Hitchcock is so good at using camera movements, shots and other film techniques, like widescreen, colour, music, 3D even, that I forget when watching his films that it is all so symbolic and psychological, all so carefully drawn on paper and thought out before his filming began. He makes the same film always again, in a good way. The wrong man, the wrong woman, impossible love, cruel antagonists, desperate romantic struggle in a hopeless world. "Film love-making like a fight and fight scenes like love-making".
It was filmed in color and the colors green and red played a dominant and important aspect in the entire film.
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned the fact that Hitchcock was famous for making cameos in his films... he even managed to put one in the movie "Life boat" which took place entirely on a small boat with a very small cast.
I think he appeared in a newspaper advertisement
Vertigo is not a horror movie, but a psychological thriller.
The spot by the Golden Gate Bbridge where Madeline jumps into the bay is Fort Point, a Civil War era fortification which still exists. I'm sure there may be some people who still go there due to its part in this film, though.
Trying to follow all the pathways this film beckons you onto is a good way to get vertigo yourself. Bravo for taking up the challenge - and though I'm not the first to mention it, if you enjoyed Stewart and Novak together here, they appeared together again within the year in the supernatural rom-com "Bell, Book and Candle" (a personal favorite of mine, with a cool score by George Duning), a movie suitable for Christmas as well as Halloween! I ache to reveal just a few piddling plot points, but a person can only see something for the first time once, and for now it's enough to know that this one has Stewart and Novak (and a cat - oops). I really don't think you'll have cause to regret it afterward. 🙃 🙂
Frenzy in 1972 is a very good movie. Very well received but often overlooked. It’s a suspense thriller. More explicit than any of his other movies. It’s pretty disturbing but has a lighter tone than Vertigo. Not as moody and dreamy. There is A LOT of dark humour in it. Very entertaining and suspenseful.
and, of course, the music score by Bernard Herrman is amazing, sometimes watching again the movie I just close my eyes to enjoy it, it's beautiful beyond beautiful
Absolutely! So well done! The music really is its own character, adds so much to the story.
If you didn't notice in your rewatch, go back to the scene where "Madeline" pulls away from Scotty to go up into the church. She's trying to tell him to let her go because she has something she must do, he is arguing with her, and she says "look, it wasn't supposed to happen this way" - ***in Judy's voice!*** In that moment Judy full on breaks character and talks to him as herself; Hitchcock puts it right in our face and we don't pick up on it! So once you go back and watch it knowing the twists, it's so chilling that it was clear as day she was someone else.
I love how this movie is not only a clever thriller but it's almost like a city tour of San Francisco.
Vertigo has always been in color. I’ve seen it many times but I had a completely different experience when I watched it on the big screen during a Alfred Hitchcock retrospective.
Whenever I think of Jimmy Stewart, I think of Rear Window by Hitchcock. He also, of course, starred in It's a Wonderful Life, a classic Christmas film I've never seen but know the story.
I just watched Rear Window and really enjoyed it so stay tuned for that reaction video! Oh yeah! Same, I’ve never seen it but I’m familiar with it. Thanks for watching!
You good people have to see It’s a Wonderfull Life...
I watched this at a very young age, it made me extra fascinated of my Bay Area upbringing. I remember visiting that mission on a class trip and being completely enchanted.
Vertigo was filmed at the height of American Film Dominance of World Cinema..A MasterWork of Film. It was lovingly restored/remastered and is considered among the Top 100 Most Important Examples of 20th Century Cinema of Hollywood📽️
"Suspiria" Italian 1977..A girl seeks to study at a Dance Academy in Europe..which hides a very dark secret within. A MasterWork of terror, color and atmosphere. Considered one of the most chilling movies ever filmed...Highly Recommended!👑
Something worth noting about the ending is that the Hayes code enforced by the movie studios at the time prohibited showing people getting away with crimes. Since Judy was an accessory to murder, the movie could not have ended with Scotty and Judy getting together even if that had seemed like a good dramatic choice (which it probably wouldn't have been). She had to pay for her crime in some way, so having her fall off the tower was a dramatic way of making that happen without having to have Scotty turn her into the authorities, which his character might not have been willing to do. Thanks for the reaction!
This is my favourite Hitchcock. The attention to detail is amazing. And yes, it has a lot of twists, but also, it's so twisted XD I do love it when characters are not perfect =) You should check out some analysis videos on You Tube, there's a lot to unravel in this film that will make you appreciate more =)
Hitchcock is the master of suspense. You’ve watched Psycho and The Birds but apart from them Rebecca is one of the few movies which can be characterized as a horror movie. It takes place in a big, old castle where a woman who has just got married tries to adjust to her new life but it’s difficult since her husbond is often away and a vicious, coldhearted maid always tries to manipulate her and make her look bad.
One of my all time favorite Hitchcock movies. It sucks you in and twists you around.Kim Novak wasn't Hitccock's first choice, but she was great. It is her best performance. You feel like a voyeur watching this movie.
One of the greatest movies of all time a true classic directed by the master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock starring James Stewart and Kim Novak. Thank you so much great reaction☺👍
Such a good movie! Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@ReelReviewsWithJen You're welcome Jen☺
There's an alternate ending which has Stewart and Geddes listening to the radio about the husband's arrested for the murder. Glad that Hitchcock changed the ending. Another great Hitchcock/Stewart film is "Rope". You'll love it.
Among many things I learnt by watching this reaction, I learnt that Lady Gaga sampled Vertigo's opening music, at the beginning of Born this Way.
I am working my way through your back catalogue of reactions, you have made some interesting and unique choices. I am enjoying, many thanks!
From the horror psychological mastermind. Love this film. Keep up the great content.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Yes, you can really drive that close to the Golden Gate Bridge. That scene is set at Fort Point, which is a Civil War era brick fort under the San Francisco end of the bridge. It's part of the national park system. It should be a popular attraction, but for some reason most people don't know about it. The road that leads to it is near the entrance to the bridge, and it's possible to drive right by it without realizing it.
Kim Novak did a great job playing two characters who are really the same character. Judy doesn't just look different from Madeleine. Her voice and manner are different. The part of the movie where Judy transforms back into Madeleine took some really fine acting.
You were right about Scottie. He really is a creep. His obsession with Judy, his desire to take over her life and transform her into someone else is pretty twisted. He says to Judy about the color of her hair, "Judy, please, it can't matter to you." Try telling that to any woman you know and see where it gets you!
Hey, Jen! If you want to explore horror movies that are more like psychological thrillers that still have a lot of scares, then I highly recommend Brian De Palma's Dressed To Kill from 1980, starring Michael Cain, Angie Dickinson, and Nancy Allen. It's heavily influenced by the films of Hitchcock.
I’ll add it to the list! Thanks for the suggestion!
@@ReelReviewsWithJen You're welcome!
@@scottjo63 I rewatched Blow Out 4-5 months ago. Still a good movie, and those three actors do a great performance in the movie.
Hello Jen. I can suggest you The Innocents directed by Jack Clayton and starred by Deborah Kerr. For me is the best ghost story based on the novel The turn of the screw.
Check out Brian de Palma's BODY DOUBLE. For better or worse he's a huge Hitchcock fan and created BODY DOUBLE in the 1980's (like it or not) as a direct update of the circumstances that inhabit VERTIGO. I like it for the precise Hitchcock influence so evident in De Palma's version. It substitutes claustrophobia for acrophobia which affects everything including the directing style.
“Maybe don’t take her near bodies of water.” Cracked me up.
Haha thanks for watching!
This film is about falling in love.
Stewart should have been ten years younger (that’s what Hitchcock thought too) but he’s still the perfect actor for this role. And I think everybody agree that Kim Novak is perfect (she’ 88 years old now).
Maybe the most serious pretender to my all time favorite movie, I’m sucked in a deep dream every time I watch it.
She is so great in this movie. I notice how she has a toally different voice when Charlotte is there.
Good review Jen. I think you ought to watch it again. It's great when the penny drops, and suddenly everything falls into place, and begins to make sense. Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak made another film that year together called "Bell, Book And Candle". It's about a witch who falls for her neighbour and puts him under her spell. I guess you'd call it a fantasy/comedy.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! Yeah absolutely, now that I know how it ends there will be so many subtle hints along the way. Oh interesting, did she ever work with Hitchcock again?
@@ReelReviewsWithJen No I don't believe so. B,B & C is a nice little film, with a slight Bewitched vibe to it. Not horror though, more comedy.
I think the trombone shot was invented by Hitchcock in this movie.
I really liked Kim Novak here. I didn't realise the first time I watched she had a double role, I just thought Judy was a look-a-like. Great acting and make-up to pull that off.
Great reaction to another classic Hitchcock movie!. Personally I think Rear Window is his best film and you should definitely give it a watch if you get the chance. I think I've mentioned it before but another film that came out around the same time is Night Of The Demon (1957) which is another psychological horror/thriller and is a classic if you want to try that. Look for the UK version though as the American release under the Curse Of The Demon title was a cut and edited version.
Thank you so much! I just watched Rear Window and really enjoyed it so stay tuned for that reaction video! Night of the Demon / Curse of the Demon is on the list, thanks for the suggestion!
30 even more scariest movie moments brought me here
One of the most frustrating and subtlety disturbing movies I’ve seen. Oddly enough, it had an aftertaste similar to No Country for Old Men, that feeling like a big brain director knew exactly what I wanted, but withheld it to give me what he felt I deserved. Can’t stop mulling it over in my mind…
The original title of the film actually was "Dat Dang Nun".
Haha a fitting title indeed!
Vertigo is not exactly a conventional movie, it's more a mesmerizing cinematic experience... to really apreciate it we have to forget the amount of narrative inconsequences Hitchcock introduced in order to create its peculiar 'out-of-this-world' atmosphere.
When people values the movie in the conventional way it's not exactly a perfect mechanism, but that's not the intention of Hitchcock...
He tried kind of the same years before with Rebecca, which has many beautiful 'disturbing' moments, but the whole storyline is not the most interesting...
Same with The Birds, which is founded in an almost ridiculous premise
Hitchcock was never much interested in 'big stories', but in little anecdotes which were useful to develope his incredible arsenal of resources
If you're interested in more Hitchcock, I cannot recommend Strangers On a Train enough. It deserves to be mentioned alongside Psycho, Vertigo, Rear Window and North By Northwest.
Yeah I’ve really enjoyed his films so far, I’ll add it to the list! Thanks for the suggestion!
Agree 100%
It's a wonderful film that has almost no reviews on UA-cam
I’d like to also suggest Hitchcock’s Shadow of a Doubt.
I would suggest to start with Hitchcock's Rebecca from 1940 (the only Hitch movie that won best picture) and then move on from that. Looove the Ingrid Bergman movies Notorious and Spellbound.
This film was given a sort of a remake by Brian DePalma in 1976,with "Obsession". (Cliff Robertson; Genevieve Bujold)
Man loses beautiful wife and young daughter in a car crash after a bungled kidnapping. 20 years later,man encounters woman who bears a resemblance to his beautiful late wife and attempts to make her over to look exactly the same.
It's clearly a homage - but to say that its resolution is 'uncomfortable' is putting it mildly!
I like Vertigo,but it's not among my Hitchcock favourites. It's a little too plodding and self-indulgent for my liking; but revealing the 'twist' earlier than expected was a master stroke;because we want to shout to Scotty " open your eyes! Work it out! You're being used!!"
To add to Hitchcock movie suggestions:
To catch a thief - a fun little 'whodunnit' (an unusual genre for Hitchcock to dabble in);with a beautiful cast and equally beautiful locations.
Marnie - a psychological thriller,along similar lines to Vertigo.
A fun film with Stewart and Novak is "Bell, Book, and Candle." It also has Jack Lemmon and the wonderful Elsa Lanchester.
That hotel at the end of the movie is now called The Vertigo Hotel and shows the movie on a 24 hour loop in the lobby.
Wow that’s commitment! I’m sure the hotel has tons of visitors who are fans of the movie 🎬 Thanks for watching!
27.09 that extending depth-of-field shot was used by Spielberg in Jaws. It also crops up in Poltergeist (1982)
Nice that’s awesome! Thanks for watching!
@@ReelReviewsWithJen It occurs in the beach scene with Roy Scheider's reaction to the kid on the inflatable mattress getting eaten by the shark. In poltergeist, its the shot when the mother reaches the top of the staircase at the end & the hallway suddenly extends. Spielberg was a huge devotee of Hitchcock.
One of the greatest Psychological Thrillers ever made!
So many plot twists! Thanks for watching!
Kim Novak and James Stewart are in another movie together, Bell, Book and Candle. Novak plays a witch that falls in love with Stewart.
Vertigo has always been in color.
Hi !. "Vertigo", "North by Northwest", "Psycho" and "The Birds" are his most famous movies.
Here’s a horror movie you should watch but I don’t think I suggested yet:Return of the Living Dead.As to your question about whether Vertigo had ever been remade:Brian DePalma’s movie Body Double had a main character who had vertigo(I think)but as far as I know this movie has never had a direct remake.Speaking of DePalma,he has another horror movie called Sisters that you should see,and the French film Diabolique is based on something by the writer(s) of this movie.If you don’t mind subtitles,that movie is also definitely worth seeing.
Ambiguity in art is a virtue, not a vice.
Kim Novak and Jimmy Stewart made "bell book and candle" where she plays a witch in present day New York? Typical gorgeous girl after middle age man via little love spell movie. I enjoyed it. Good job with this thing. Alfred did suspense thrillers and a rare comedy but not straight up horror.
It’s a great movie! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Try, “The Trouble With Harry”
I'll add it to the list! Thanks for the suggestion!
Since Gavin Elster was a gold-digger, he had no appreciation for what it meant to an honest man to have a profession that identifies his self-image to a large extent. If you involve a police detective as a tool for a murder scheme, his feelings of betrayal are going to unhinge him, as what happened here. Scottie didn't murder Judy, but he thought he had to put here back at the scene of the crime...he was reckless but also mentally imbalanced since he'd watched the real Madeline die.
"Vertigo" is also among my top 10!
If you want to watch a horror film/thriller I would suggest Let The Right One In or A Quiet Place. Vertigo is my favorit Hitchcock thriiller. Suspense from beginning to end.
PS - Kim novak was the bombshell in Hollywood before Marilyn took the mantle.
blessings!
Have you ever seen the 1991 Dark Shadows TV series? It has a lot of interesting romantic, and horror elements. And it is only 12 episodes long, it has a vampire, ghost girl, a witch, and even time travel in those 12 episodes. It accomplished a lot, but sadly was constantly interrupted by war news coverage.
One of Martin Scorsese's personal favorites. Except for Psycho and maybe The Birds, Hitchcock's movies were more Crime, mystery type.
Such a good film! I think Rear Window is my favourite Hitchcock film so far, thanks for watching!
You actually look a hell of a lot like midge especially with the cute glasses!
Definitely in my top 10
Such a good movie! Thanks for watching!
Check out Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, the alternate ending!!!
Obviously lots of choices for you. I’ll add Spellbound. Speaking of Gregory Peck a really fascinating film is Mirage but doubtful it’s available.
Saul Bass, fair play
Horror genre? Hitchcock never made Horror Movies - suspense yes, horror no. There were occasional horrific moments in his films. But that's quite different. The landing on the beach in Saving Private Ryan (yes, I know it's not by Hitchcock) was horrific but it wasn't a Horror Movie. One possible exception was "Frenzy" with its explicit and prolonged scenes of violence, including a rape.
Hitchkock never made a movie involving the supernatural.
One of the 1950’s movies I remember besides the Birds.
I really enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Was Vertigo ever remade? Well... not exactly. lol That infamous Hitchcock fanboy, Brian De Palma, made a 1984 movie called Body Double, which was greatly influenced by Vertigo(and Rear Window) and is yet another great De Palma thriller that I recommend. To say anything more would spoil it. lol
yes! Body Double was kind of a mix of Vertigo and Rear Window... and completely over the top, of course, god how much I love De Palma, crazy madman
@@scottjo63 Yeah, that was a TV movie. I remember that one. Daryl Hannah was also in it.
😊great movie
Thank you for watching!
@@ReelReviewsWithJen 📼good review
If you've not watched it, there's a documentary interview with Saul Bass available, "Bass on Titles." This is the better version of the two on youtube: ua-cam.com/video/MLvXAokZUJ4/v-deo.html
Another great Hitchcock is "The trouble with Harry". It's not to gruesome. ;)
Thanks for the suggestion!
Cape Fear 1962. Checkout the trailer. No coffee, just the donut por favor.
I’ll add it to the list! Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😉 Tonight I'm watching Disney-Pixar Cars and the Will Ferrell Sci-fi Comedy Adventure Land Of the Lost.
Thank you for watching! You too! Cars is a classic! Enjoy!
Not exactly fun, but definitely a fact - "Vertigo" is not a horror movie. Hitchcock's genre was suspense.
James Stewart plays a ex police detective so we had money! Being 50 and having a 25-year-old girlfriend isn't unrealistic even in today's standards! If you have money and power I have no problem of attracting a woman in their twenties! Sad but true!
That dang nun
Of all the bell towers she had to walk into 😬
That shirt is captivating 🤤
"Vertigo" is a title that film critics and historians love to fawn over. But as much as I like Hitchcock's work myself, this is not one I'm particularly fond of. The first half of the movie is really good... but after Madeleine's death, it becomes increasingly weird and disturbing--and not in a good way. Nor would I really consider this to be a "horror" movie, strictly-speaking. The closest Hitchcock came to what we would consider "horror" today would be "Psycho" (1960) and "The Birds" (1963). So what other Hitchcock films should you see? A number of other commenters have recommended "Rear Window" (1954), also with James Stewart, and I agree totally. Another one to think about is a film that's comparatively little-known today, one of the last that Hitchcock did before he died, "Frenzy" (1972)--it's a suspenseful and macabre story that's very well done.
you are very funny quitting your day job would be perfectly fine
Haha maybe one day
Not a doll.
Oh, and if you want to see an even better Hitchcock movie with James Stewart, try Rear Window with Grace Kelly. It's one of the greatest thrillers ever made.
Agreed 44excalibur📼
I actually just watched it so stay tuned for that reaction video! I think it’s my favourite of his films so far, thanks for watching!
@@ReelReviewsWithJen cool 😊
@@ReelReviewsWithJen Awesome! I can't wait!
KARMA!
Great video. You should check out and possibly react to the Hitchcock films: North by Northwest, Rope, Dial M for Murder, Strangers on a Train. Keep up the great content Jen
Vertigo is not a horror movie
It's not a horror movie
Vertigo is honestly my least favorite Alfred Hitchcock film. I feel like Alfred Hitchcock was given too much freedom to do what he wanted and the end result was a indulgent mess.
This is, of course, my own opinion. If you like it, more power to you.
I enjoyed it overall, it was a lot of set up for the pay off at the end. Not my favourite of his movies and I’m curious if the movie is true to the book. Thanks for watching!
@@ReelReviewsWithJen recommend psycho from 1960 greatest movie ever made 🙃
Not to tell you what you should like, but it's the ultimate grower. It was poorly received at the time, but there's a reason it has become so highly regarded. I used to find it dull and melodramatic. It took me a while to tune in to its wavelength, but after a few viewings it began to haunt me. It's his most personal and thematically rich movie. It's not a thriller. It's a fever dream.
Andrew Forbes ...I don't dislike it. I just don't like Vertigo as much as other Alfred Hitchcock movies.
